from blood or plasma with the use of filter candles |
(57) A process and device for the selective separation of pathological and/or toxic species
from blood, plasma or serum wherein a plasma or serum fraction is passed through a
container containing one or more filter candles of decreasing mean pore diameter and
which may contain a sterilizable spacing disc between the filter candles. In accordance

weight exclusion limits between about 20,000 and 3,000,000 D may be selectively separated
from a fraction of plasma or serum.
